Pirate Commander - DevLog #12

Ahoy!

In today’s devlog, we want to show you a bit of the world we’ve designed for the game—one that you’ll be able to explore with your crew and your ship. Keep in mind, though, that the places you visit might hide valuable treasures, but they also come with dangers. Sometimes, you’ll run into trouble, like the Trade Company trying to stop you.

In this post, we’ll give you a closer look at a few interesting locations you can visit on the map—and what you might expect to find there.

The Quiet Shores – Fishing Village

"Aye, the fish be fresh an’ the winds be calm... but don’t expect more than a dry biscuit and a silent stare." — Old Red Flit, sailor and lover of quiet ports

One of the locations you can visit is a peaceful fishing village. This small settlement offers basic supplies—most importantly, food, which becomes crucial for aiding the nearby burned city.

Nothing out of the ordinary happens here. It’s a quiet, safe place, perfect for resting and preparing for the journey ahead.

Ashes of Seashell Bay – Burned Harbor

"Used to be a fine port, it was... now is’s just smoke, screams, and beggin’ eyes. Best bring more than pity, mate." — First Mate Grigory, witness to the burning

Seashell Bay Harbor is a ruined city, recently devastated by an attack from the Trade Company. Its people are struggling to survive and have little to offer, except a desperate need for resources and support.

The Storm’s Refuge – Atoll Fort

"Ye don’t stroll into that atoll, lad – not unless ye fancy dancin’ cannonballs with Captain Storm hisself!" — Captain Rakes, survivor of the Outer Fort Clash

At the heart of a remote atoll lies a small settlement guarded by a powerful fort. It’s a Trade Company-controlled area located on the edge of their territory and home to the infamous Captain Otto, also known as “The Storm.”

Reaching this place is no easy task — you must first deal with the fort. A key moment involves ambushing a supply convoy to weaken its defenses.

The Totem Watchers – Seeker Research Camp

"They say they study totems... but I swear by me compass, those Seeker rats got darker plans than they let on." — Black-eye Jack, ex-cultist turned smuggler

On one of the islands, a camp of strangers studying a mysterious totem linked to the local tribes can be found. These outsiders call themselves the “Seekers of Order” and seem to be engaged in odd rituals and research.

Black Rocks Haven – Pirate Hideout

"Now this be a place fer real sailors—no law, no questions, just rum, powder, an’ coin changin’ hands." — Joe, quartermaster and fence

Hidden among sharp coastal rocks is a small pirate hideout. It's one of the few places where players can resupply deep within Trade Company territory.

This hideout serves as a launch point for raids against fishing villages and enemy camps. It’s also a black market hub where looted goods — especially from Seeker camps — can be sold. Despite its location in hostile lands, the hideout itself remains safe and free from immediate threats.

Flames of Disorder – Burning Seeker Camp

"I’ve sailed through ghost waters an’ stared down storms, but I swear on Blackbeard’s beard—I ain’t stayin’ the night in that camp." — Old Man Hank, last seen leavin’ without his boots

Hidden on the edge of archipelago island, Whispershade Hollow is a quiet, unsettling encampment. The people here are... strange. They speak in riddles, move in silence, and seem to worship something they never name aloud. Whether they’re mystics, fanatics, or madmen is anyone’s guess — but none of them seem entirely sane.

There are whispers of secret rituals, strange symbols carved into trees, and a presence in the air that chills even the boldest pirate to the bone.

Deadman’s Nook – Pirate Hideout in Company Lands

"Only a madman or a true pirate sets up shop this deep in Company waters... lucky fer us, I be both." — Scarface Jim, founder of the Nook

Deadman’s Nook is a hidden pirate outpost tucked right into the heart of Trade Company territory. It’s a rough, quiet place, carved out of desperation and defiance. The pirates here keep their heads low and blades ready—every supply run could be the last.

Despite the risk, it’s one of the few places where players can resupply behind enemy lines. Black market deals, whispered plans, and forbidden maps often pass through this little outpost—if you know who to talk to.

Shark Bay Harbor – Trade Company controlled Port

"They call it order. I call it chains in velvet gloves." — Mistress Vyra, pirate with unfinished business

Shark Bay Harbor is a bustling Trade Company port, strictly controlled and heavily patrolled. Outsiders are met with suspicion, and pirates even more so. The city is a fortress of “law” and profit for the Trading Company itself — but the cracks are starting to show.

While it begins as a hostile zone, some choices and actions may slowly turn the tides. Influence can be gained. Loyalties can be shaken. Perhaps even this Company stronghold can be turned to your advantage… for a price.

Ironhold Bastion – Fortress of Samuel “Iron Hand”

"I once tried to sail past Ironhold at night... the stars vanished from the cannon smoke. I ain’t goin’ back." — Blind Pete, survivor of the Night Barrage

Ironhold Bastion is the crown jewel of the Trade Company’s military might—a fortified island citadel, guarded by cannons, sea mines, and the flagship frigate of the infamous Samuel "Iron Hand", the Company’s ruthless leader.

Approaching this place without a plan is madness. The bastion is not just a stronghold—it’s a symbol. Taking it means striking at the very heart of the Company’s power. It won’t be easy, and it won’t be quiet… but it might just be legendary.
